Alright. We're all fairly salty. However, I think it important to thank Speedwagon for the effort she put into this game. The mistake she made is an easy one to make for a new mod; she put story before balance. 194 and I did the same thing in Cave Story mafia. We were too concerned about adhering to canon and didn't think about how doing so would affect the game. I'm guessing the same thing happened here.

So thank you, Speedwagon, for a fun game. It's too bad that it was wrecked by poor balance decisions, but it was fun to play nonetheless. I'm sure you'll do better next time.

If you are lynched, you will act as a bomb and kill the person who hammered you.

C-Moon: Your stand can manipulate gravity and you can use this to avoid getting attacked by hovering above the enemy's reach. You may use this ability at night. You are bulletproof for that night.

Made in Heaven: Your final ability. You manipulate gravity to accelerate time until it literally resets the universe recreating it in your image. Activate this ability at night. If you manage to successfully activate it twice, your team will automatically win the game.

Passive abilities

Prime Advancement: Your stand needs time to develop more skills. Each stand replaces the last, so use your abilities wisely! You start off with Whitesnake. You will gain C-Moon on night 3 and Made in Heaven on night 7.

Hallelujah: Even though you're an evil priest, you're still a priest! You will flip town if you die.


3rd Party:

Role: Yoshikage Kira (Serial killer with a sick fetish for women's hands)

Ability: To destroy any evidence of his victim by way of bombs.

Bomb #2 (Sheer Heart Attack): If you choose to use your secondary bomb, it will go off on its own. The player with the most players targeting them will be incinerated.

Killer Queen Bites the Dust: Your tertiary bomb. Choose a player at night. You will tell them your identity and activate your ability. The next night phase onwards, if they are targeted by investigative or tracking roles, your ability will kill those players. This ability only works on players without stands (risky as most players will be stand users). The ability will be active until you manually cancel it with a CANCEL command.

You may only use 1 bomb at a time.

Passive abilities:

I Just Want to Live a Normal Life: You don't like being the center of attention. Unfortunately, this means that if either you or your target is targeted by an investigative or tracking role, your action will fail. Only applies to Bomb #2 if you are targeted.

I Had a... Boner: You've heard a rumor that there is a female character in this game. A secondary win condition is that you blow her up so you and her hand can live happily ever after in your beautiful Duwang.

Yeah I lied about that. But it should be common sense that the main character is in the game and town.

It was a fun game. Not every game has to be OMG SO BALANCED to be fun. This one was just hectic, which is a breath of fresh air considering a lot of the games that have taken place on this forum.

He isn't the "main character". He's the protagonist of a single part of the whole series. The shortest part.

@Geno: Sure, games don't have to be perfectly balanced to be fun. I completely agree. The problem is that this setup was designed to punish the town for playing well. Axel shooting Shoop, which is what he was supposed to do, led to a game that was impossible for the town to win. That isn't fun.

"Impossible for the town to win" is pretty dramatic. If King Arthur's lynch wasn't made at the speed of light there is a chance that Shoop could have been singled out. I had no inside information and I guessed Shoop was the last scum after Champ was lynched considering his gameplay. This game was jojo's ->bizarre<- mafia, crazy s*** was happening the whole game. Don't blame the design, you just had to think outside the box.

The thing is, including someone who flips town upon death AND an unlimited reviver in a game is essentially like including a mafia Innocent Child. Brik is right, the town were punished for using their powers to the fullest.

Town had to go about scum hunting in a different manner. You couldn't go solely off your powers. On top of that, it was 10-3. Town just got a rough start and inactive/unhelpful members.

Well there's a difference between trusting a cop result and trusting when the mod tells you that someone was of a certain alignment. Anyway, thanks to Speedwagon for the game and introducing me to JoJo which actually seems pretty cool

This. This was the problem. If we had been given some indication that mod posts weren't to be trusted it would have been fine. As it was, there was no reason for us to suspect that anything was amiss.

Shoop made the setup unwinnable because there was no logical way to out him. The cop wasn't going to waste a valuable investigation on a player that the moderator confirmed as town, and even if he had Shoop could easily have claimed miller and we really would have had no choice but to believe him. The town certainly wasn't going to lynch him. What else were we supposed to do? It's easy to say "oh you should have considered all this stuff at lylo" in hindsight, but think about it from a player perspective. King Arthur and DJ both knew that they themselves were town. They also knew that the moderator confirmed Shoop to be town. What is the logical conclusion? The non-confirmed guy must be scum! Never in a thousand years would someone think to themselves, "oh, of course! The moderator must have lied to us that one time, therefore this confirmed townie must be scum." Especially not after having seen that all of the previously revived townies that died a second time were, in fact, town.

Again, this would have been fine if a) there had been no reviver, or b) there had been some indication that the mod could not be trusted. And no, putting "bizarre" in the title doesn't count. That was the only "bizarre" thing in the game.
